Summary:

"What does it mean to be mixed-race in Japan? What is nationality? What is race? What is culture? Today, one in 49 babies are born into families with one non-japanese parent. However, very little is known about the experiences of half-Japanese, or hafu, as they are known in Japan. This film follows the lives of five hafus, as they explore what it means to be multiracial and multicultural in a nation that once proudly considered itself to be mono-ethnic. For some of these hafus, Japan is the only home they know; for some, living in Japan is an entirely new experience. Others are caught somewhere between two different worlds."--Container.
